Three women. Two generations apart. One secret they share.
1997. As the people of Fort Meadow Beach celebrate the Fourth of July, four-year-old Daisy Wright disappears and is never seen again.
Present Day. Fired from her job and heartbroken, Peyton Winchester moves back home for the summer.
Sitting in her childhood bedroom in her parents' sprawling mansion on the edge of the Atlantic ocean brings back all kinds of memories - including Daisy's vanishing when Peyton was a young girl herself. As she begins her search for the truth, the investigation will hit close to home, intertwining Daisy's past and Peyton's present with irreversible consequences.
How far will Peyton be ready to go to uncover the truth and will what she finds destroy everything or finally lead her home?
